Fleas Found In Akron
Remember that there are numerous flea species in Akron, but the most common is the cat flea. You’re likely going to encounter this species at some point. Some people mistakenly believe that cat fleas only target cats. Unfortunately, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Adult cat fleas can reach an eighth of an inch in size. Plus, they’re flat and thin. Their unique shape allows them to slip through small holes and hair effortlessly. You can try grabbing them with your fingers but they’ll likely slip through. Cat fleas create problems for many animals, including foxes, skunks, dogs, cats, and more.
They will sometimes enter homes that don’t have pets.
Problems Linked To Flea Bites
Flea bites can create immense problems for people and pets. For instance, there is a risk that your pet is going to develop flea allergy dermatitis. In addition to this, fleas will cause your pet to scratch constantly and that can lead to pet hair loss. If the fleas aren’t eliminated, they can cause severe blood loss and death. Finally, it should be remembered that fleas can transmit tapeworms to pets and people.
Preventing Infestations Of Fleas
Fleas are difficult to eliminate. With that being said, your best way to deal with them is to keep them away. Stop them from invading your home and you won’t have to worry about paying for flea extermination services. Unfortunately, it is impossible to completely eradicate the possibility that these pests will sneak in. Still, you can minimize the risk by using the tips provided below.
- Be cautious when adopting a new pet. If it has fleas, you’ll bring those fleas home with you.
- Try using an anti-parasite medication that is designed to control and prevent fleas. Talk to your vet and give this medication to your pet as recommended.
- Properly mow your yard. It should never be allowed to grow over three inches.
- Never feed wild animals around your property. Don’t feed them because they’ll return and they might bring fleas with them.
- Block the area under your deck or porch by installing heavy-duty wiring. Doing so will prevent wild animals from getting inside and bringing fleas with them.
- Check your pet’s belongings carefully.
- Wash your pet and his or her bedding often.
- Vacuum your home. Pay close attention to the areas where your pet often lays.
